Although I plan to enter DACC as an Undecided major, there are several topics that interest me. I have considered Business Administration, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, History, Political Science, Secondary Education, Small Business Ownership, and Theatre. Because I am interested is such a wide variety of majors, I am going into General Studies until I make a decision. I have considered starting my own business, most likely a pet store or clothing store, so that is why I have thought about majoring in Business Administration and Small Business Ownership. However, in the economy right now and the small town area I live in, it would be difficult opening a small business. I have taken this into consideration and that is not my first option at the moment. I have always been good with kids and I think I would enjoy teaching them, so I have thought about majoring in some form of …show more content…
This is my backup plan, though, because teachers do not make much money. It is also difficult to find a good job in teaching since it is such a popular occupation. Theatre is something I have enjoyed ever since I saw my first play. Since then, I have performed in six plays at my high school and at Danville Light Opera. Unfortunately, theatre is a dying art. I know it is unlikely I would make money off of this passion. Although I like to think I am fairly talented, I am not talented enough to make a career out of theatre. Even though I think I would enjoy this field immensely, it is not the wisest choice. This is why I would like to major in Political Science. I am very interested in politics and I think I would enjoy it as a career. Even if I do not make it as a successful politician, teaching Civics or history at a high school while also helping my community sounds like a great future.
I was recently accepted into the Exploratory Studies college at NC State, and am beyond excited to hopefully continue my academic career at NC State University. Although I am currently undecided on my major, I've shown the most interest in math and science related subjects, and hope to pursue similar avenues of study at State through the Exploratory Studies program. I am interested in exploring different career paths that I may have not yet considered, and believe that this program will provide me with the resources necessary to truly discover what I want to do for the rest of my life. Although I currently do not have any specific career objectives, I am confident that I will leave NC State prepared to build a successful career, regardless of my eventual major. I am excited at how much NC State and the Exploratory Studies college has to offer, and hope to eventually graduate with the experience and knowledge to begin a professional career.
Students often think that they can only get jobs in that specific field because of their degree. Keyes describes that regardless of what students study, school will not prepare them for the workforce. He also explains that an employer likes to see a diverse background from potential employees when they are hiring, because the student’s major might be an asset to their company. With that in mind, it is important to choose something that interests students so it won’t bore them as they get older. I’m choosing a major in kinesiology; which is the study of body movement and I am sure will keep me entertained throughout studying it and practicing it as a
When I was assigned to do the future focus plan, I was undecided on what degree I was going for. After a while I decided I was going to go for my associate of arts degree. The future focus plan helped me to figure out what classes I needed to take. Now I
“I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more of it I have.” –Thomas Jefferson. A Business degree is a very common and widely chosen major. People that have chosen Business as a major have different reasons for picking it, but, all have the same outlook, work hard and make money. In a Business degree, there are some specific areas that target different aspects of the business world such as: Marketing, Accounting, Finance, International Business, and Economics. This degree should be thought of if someone is undecided, not only because it helps you for find a job, but also helps open many entry-level roles upon graduation, make a lot of money, and could potentially help the US grow and develop.
1.Tell us about yourself, your family, community and why you have decided to pursue a post-secondary education and your field of study?
Choosing a major is the hardest thing to do its very rare that you think about a certain career and you stick to it till the end. However a lot of people change majors like if they were changing the trains or the buses because they are uncertain about what they want do and achieve in life, but not for me i knew exactly what i wanted to do since the day i realized my passion for computers. I am a student at Laguardia Community College currently majoring in Computer operations more specifically Networking and security. after recieving a degree in computer operations i want to transfer to SNHU which stands for Southern New Hampsphire University. i want go here upon graduating from Laguardia community college and pursue a masters degree in Information Technology more specifically in Internet security.
A large percentage of students change their majors, at least once, before they graduate and many freshmen enter as undecided. General education courses can help these students decide on what their future is going to consist of. If I was clueless as to what I wanted to major in, then personally, I would take a multitude of different courses. I am far more willing to explore many different disciplines,
...ions of becoming a teacher, especially at a high school level will be helpful in deciding on my future career. I know that I have the patience to teach in one of two subjects, English and history, but only because I am passionate about both. The hours and time you put into the career are not horrible and include guaranteed time off. My goal in life has always been to, in some way, better the life of another person, and as a teacher I would have the opportunity to do so.
There are many socioeconomic factors that influence students as they are choosing their college majors. Since some degrees can determine the type of career the students will have for the rest of their lives, there is a lot of pressure to choose a major they will be passionate about. However, not every student has a single interest they are truly passionate about. Luckily, there are other degrees that emphasize providing students with the tools they would need to create their own place in the business world. Like many other liberal arts degrees, a Bachelor’s Degree in English focuses on developing a solid base of critical thinking on which a student may build their career or decide to further their education. Alternatively, a Bachelor’s Degree in English can prepare students for careers in education, law, publishing, journalism, public relations, business, management, advertising and writing; all of which, I have expressed an interest in at one time. Although there are many other degrees that support my
While attending undergrad, my major changed numerous times pulling me in different avenues, however that desire that burned in me never wavered. I began my undergraduate studies as a Biology student. At the time I wanted to be a pediatrician. The more classes I took the more I knew this career field was not fulfilling. I then changed my major to early childhood education with the hopes of fulfillment, because of my love for children.
There were several factors which determined my choice of major. Both of my parents are enterpreneurs, business is the spheare I was surrounded by since childhood. My mother often took me on business trips , so I had a chance to be present at business conferences, fashion shows, factories. Also , an opportunity to travel abroad and meet people of different cultures raised my interes to business sphear as to the opportuinity to travel and to see the world.
Picking a college major is probably the hardest aspect of college. It can be stressful trying to narrow down a list of over 200 majors to just a handful. Choosing a major will not only affect the rest of your college years, but your future career choice. You have to sit and decided for yourself, without the influence of others, what your interest are, what you're passionate about, and what you think your purpose in life is. The best question to ask yourself in this type of situation is, "where do I see myself in the next 10 years?" It may seem like the hardest decision you'll ever have to make, but not everyone declares a major in their first year of college. According to a study done by The University of La Verne, "roughly half of all college
Similar to selecting a meal at a restaurant, I have an extremely difficult time choosing a major at college. Since grade school, I have dreamed of becoming a schoolteacher. I had always envied their big desk, red pens, and superior knowledge. However, as I grew older, I became increasingly aware of how expensive college ...
Educational Goals: Education is extremely important part of my past, present, and future goals. I currently hold an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design Media. I have found that an A.A.S Degree does not go as far al I originally intended in the Rochester, MN area and furthering my education will be a necessity for my future career goals. Over the past 2 years I have been working on my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the Minnesota School of Business Rochester campus. I am currently a senior with 3 quarters left before a spring graduation. After a June graduation, I plan on taking a summer quarter break. After summer break I will either continue on at MSB for my Masters in Business Administration with a Minor in Marketing or transferring the University of Minnesota for my Masters in Adult Education. After my Masters Degree is complete I will decide at that time if I wish to continue on and achieve my Ph.D.
